The partnership with OceansLab, a marine hydrogen accelerator founded by yachtsman Phil Sharp, aims to explore hydrogen fuel-cell technology for port infrastructure and vessels, including ferries, tugs and cargo ships.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pleased to see this educational initiative coming to fruition with Ports of Jersey. This partnership will explore how we can apply hydrogen fuel-cell technology and green hydrogen fuels to start decarbonising the Island\u2019s maritime industry,\u201d said Phil Sharp, CEO of OceansLab.<\/p>\n
Hydrogen accelerator<\/strong><\/p>\n The internship is open to Jersey students and early-career professionals, the internship reflects Ports of Jersey\u2019s commitment to decarbonisation and sustainable port infrastructure.<\/p>\n The two-month paid internship, based at OceansLab\u2019s headquarters in La Rochelle, France, offers a comprehensive introduction to hydrogen technologies, including fuel cells, production, storage and applications in marine transportation.<\/p>\n Interns will also gain insights into regulatory frameworks and challenges, equipping them with the skills to drive sustainability in the marine sector.<\/p>\n Matt Thomas, CEO of Ports of Jersey, added: \u201cIt\u2019s our responsibility to work towards sustainable, decarbonised travel. This is a step towards a zero-emissions marine industry, benefiting both Islanders and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
